Valdes refuses to sign a new deal at Barca - will he join former boss Guardiola at Bayern

Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes is planning to leave after turning down a new deal and could link up with former coach Pep Guardiola.

Valdes, who has spent his entire career at the Nou Camp, is contracted to Barcelona until 2014.

His representatives confirmed in a statement to Spanish national news agency Efe that Valdes intends to depart.

The statement read: 'The agents of Victor Valdes have communicated to Barcelona in a meeting held this afternoon the irrevocable decision of the player to not renew his contract.'

The 30-year-old has recently suggested he would consider a move to another league. With Guardiola heading to Bayern Munich next season, Valdes may become an early target of his old Barca boss.

Valdes has been Barcelona's No 1 throughout the last decade, winning a host of trophies and earning recognition with Spain, however Real Madrid's Iker Casillas has remained the regular national team goalkeeper.
